💥 New Episode Alert: Why Some Women Still Uphold the Patriarchy (Even Without Realizing It)

The patriarchy isn’t just propped up by men—it’s also reinforced by women who’ve been taught to value male approval, judge other women, and conform to roles that erase their power.

In this episode of the Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Podcast, I dive into:
🔹 “Pick Me” culture and how it derails progress
🔹 The silent power of internalized misogyny
🔹 Subtle ways women are trained to center men
🔹 Why calling this out isn’t betrayal—it’s liberation

This one might sting—but it’s the kind of truth that sets you free.

Moving Forward with Hope – Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Podcast offers a thoughtful and authentic exploration of toxic relationships and the often-hidden dynamics of narcissistic abuse.

Our work extends beyond personal relationships to explore how narcissism is woven into broader cultural systems, institutions, and structures like the patriarchy.

Well Hola and Greetings from Mexico!

Just wanted to send out an updated photo with a behind the scenes look and to show off my new progressive glasses. It’s only been an hour so I’m getting used to them.

Any advise for adjusting to them, am I now considered old? haha!
